I've been away from crafting for a few weeks because I damaged my neck when we went to Chicago last month and my doctor gave me a list of things not to do - and sitting like I do when I craft was one of them. But I'm feeling better, so I trekked into the craft room this morning, turned on a Kathryn Kreiger video and proceeded to follow her directions to make a planner book.I used a Velcro closure instead of magnets because I have Velcro and don't have any magnets at the moment.
It doesn't look bad in the pictures, but I can see all the places I messed up on. And my judgement concerning glue is apparently way off when I'm tired because I either used not enough glue or too much, depending on whether or not I was yawning. (Yawning = too much glue).
And, by the way, my doctor was right. My neck hurts right now. I even went so far as to put an ice bag on it. If I voluntarily put a big ice pack on my body, you know I messed up.
I'm going to go take a hot shower and then take a nap. And when I wake up, maybe I'll see if I can fix where the paper is coming off from not enough glue.
And then maybe put some embellishments on it because it looks a little plain to me. I realise that flowers and glitter wouldn't work well since this is meant to be toted around in a bag, but maybe I can come up with something. Pretty paper clips maybe? Hmm...
